Here is a hint for all of you men....

So you guys always claim that you don't know what a woman wants well I am going to give you some more information that will help you get closer to that step.

#1 If a girl texts you...no matter what you should always text her back!!! NO MATTER WHAT!!! A girl will sit there wondering what she has done wrong to not deserve a text back...especially if she texts you "I love you" you should ALWAYS text her back with something. If not, you are loosing points and failing.

#2 If a girl gets a hair cut, done, or something to her hair you MUST tell her that it looks good. Or at least say something to the fact that she got it done. If you don't, you are really loosing this game. Most the time a girl gets her hair done for you!!! For the one she cares about and loves. She really wants you to make a great impression.

#3 Hugs. Make sure you always give a girl a hug when you see her...a kiss doesn't hurt either. Anytime she enters the room, or anytime she about to leave...you ALWAYS be the one to give her the hug and kiss good-bye. That will score you some major points!!!

Lucky for me I have a great guy that is pretty good and keeping his points high and not low. :)

So now ladies....what am I missing?? What is some really important things to you that you can think of that you know your man...or men in general could work on better?

I just thought that I would post this for any men who do read this...not sure there is any but oh well. :)

March 1st

So I know that 95% of my blog is about motorcycles...mainly me riding mine...well this post is no different. The main reason that I blog about riding motorcycles is cause that is the one thing that is my escape...my serenity. So as of March 1st, my new health insurance kicks in and I will be on my motorcycle! I decided the only thing that is going to stop me on that day is the weather....oh and if I have a job by then. So as long as it is above 40 degrees, no snow, I will be on my motorcycle. It is crazy but that is what I used to think about mountain biking. ha ha I guess I still do love mountain biking as much as I used too, it is just hard sport to do by yourself. I don't like to ride mountain bikes by myself ever since my HUGE accident years and years ago.

Have you noticed that they daytime is getting longer now...which means it is getting closer to spring?!?!?! Wahooo!!!!!

A BIG Thank you!!

The last couple of weeks have been really hard for me cause I lost my job, and I am what people call...broke. I know it gets boring to hear about Mike (cause I talk about him so much), but I have to say how much I have appreciated everything he has done and is about to do for me. Words can not express my deep appreciation for that man. So the question for you guys is....How do you say thanks for everything that he has done for me? How do you show your appreciation for helping me out with everything? I feel like nothing I do or say is going to be good enough. But if you guys have any ideas of what I can do to show my appreciation???? Oh and did I mention that I am jobless so I need to do it cheap? Well that is the case. I also don't know if I should do something for Valentine's day or wait till after the crazy holiday??? I kind of want to do it after the holiday because then it tells him that I appreciate him more. If I do it for the holiday then it might not mean as much to him. I really just want him to see how much I appreciate him. Help me people? I am not asking, I am telling you to help me? hahaha

Who would ever think you would get pressure from a website????

Do you feel like because you have a Facebook page you always have to be on it? And then you always think to yourself...."what would be a great status update?" and then you can never come up with one. Then sometimes when you come up with one, you come up with another, but you don't want to update your status again because it wasn't 30 mins ago when you just posted your last one.

I think it is so funny how a website has consumed so many lives including my own sometimes. 10 years ago, we would have never thought that this would be our future...Facebook. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy it. It just feels like sometimes their is a lot of pressure just to keep up with everyone on there. Does anyone agree with me on this?? Or am I just crazy??

Today I was reminded...

Today I went to a funeral of an old neighbor from my neighborhood in Lindon. He had a heart attack while he was playing basketball in the church. He was a very healthy man, and still very young (54), he was the health teacher for UVU and I believe he was also the mens basketball coach. Anywho he left his lovely wife and 5 wonderful kids (the youngest 12). Well I went to funeral because I wanted to support his family, and my mom thought it would be a good idea to go since I don't work anyways and she wanted the company. Well he has a daughter named Lindsee, and her talk at the funeral was incredible. I cried of course, but I wasn't sure if I was crying because I felt sympathy for her and her family or if it was because what she was saying reminded me of my grandma. It was both, but it made me think more of my grandma how much I miss her. I was really close to my grandma Woolsey. I can remember the day she died as if it were yesterday.
I remember the phone call I got from my mom telling me my grandma is in the ICU at the hospital and how she is coming to pick me up on the way to the hospital. My mom knew how close I was to my grandma. I remember walking into the room and seeing over a dozen ivy bags above her bed doing there best to keep her alive and pain free from the massive staph infection that started at her ankle and was quickly spreading. I remember standing back letting my mom talk to her as much as she can but then not hearing anything back from my grandma. I think it was because she had a breathing tube down her. I thought "It must hurt for her to talk cause she doesn't want to respond to my mom" So I did just stayed back....I felt helpless. Then about 5 mins later my mom announced to my grandma I was there. It was like a slow motion camera panned over to see her reaction I can remember it so clear. She looked over at me and held out her hand for mine and started to speak, started to talk to me the best she could. As I reached out for her hand, I could see the tears swell up in her eyes as one would release and roll down her cheek. As I grab a hold of her hand I could make out the words that she was trying to tell me, these would be the last words that she would speak to me or she would try her hardest to tell me with the tube down her throat. She would tell me "I love you...I love you....I love you" and you can just see that she was trying so hard to be strong, but the infection was going to be the only winner that day. So I was did my best to be strong for her, not show any weakness. I told her that "I love you, I am here, and I am not going anywhere." Then as our hands met she held on to my hand like she would not let go for anything. I knew I wasn't about to just let go, but eventually I had too. About 5-6 hours later the infection got so bad, it went up her leg, to her hip, up her back, and stopped at the neck. My mom, her siblings, and my grandpa made the choice that it was time to let her go. At this point the only thing that was keeping her alive was her pace maker. Her kidneys failed, the meds weren't working, and it was just time. At her funeral, I spoke. It was hard, but it meant a lot to me that got the opportunity to speak at my grandma's funeral. Even though she is not here...I will always believe that she is watching over me...she is my angel.

Sorry that today's blog was sappy. It was what I felt I needed to write. Thanks for putting up with me. :)

After a long break....

I am back! Nobody is going to read this now...I have been gone for way too long. :)

So what is new with me.....

Well last week I got laid off. Don't be sad for me, cause I am not. I see this as a good thing. Now I don't have to work in the summer when I would want to be riding on Saturday's. Now I don't have to work during the World Super Bike races, I actually will get to sit down and enjoy the racing. Now I don't have to worry about working late Saturday's to prepare for Demo Days that happen on Sunday's, and then work all day Sunday at the Demo Day.

The only worry I have now is money. What else does everyone worry about....money. Oh the joys of having to worry about expenses. I think if I had one wish right now it would be to pay off my credit cards, pay off my car, and let me be debt free. So can we pretend that airplane in the night sky are like shooting stars...I could really use a wish right now.

Well so now that I don't have a job, and a little spare time on my hands you are going to see a lot more of me on here. So please stop by once in a while, say hi, and if you get bored....call me or send me a text.

It is bedtime for me now...I will talk to you tomorrow. :) NIGHT!

This one is for you Chelle....(my trips to NYC and SFO)

Ok update on my life....

So last week, I got the opportunity to go to NYC and San Francisco within one week. I have never done the coast to coast thing, but it was so much fun. Other than I had the worse luck with flying.

So REV'IT the motorcycle clothing company flew the Parts Manager Chad and I out to New York City. We flew out Tuesday morning, and as we were sitting in our seats, they announced that everyone has to de-board the plane cause Denver has grounded all flights due to weather. Chad and I were ok with that, cause we had a 4 hour layover. So that means that we have a 3 hour layover rather than a 4 hour. So an hour later we boarded our flight and it was the most bumpy flight I have ever been on. Even the flight attendant was really nervous when she made the announcement "the pilot has informed me to inform you that it is going to be this bumpy until we hit the ground (paused...everyone is laughing on the plane)...and I mean until we land." Then when we did land in Denver that flight attendant was M.I.A. ha ha they must have pulled her off to the side and gave her a little talk. So after we took off in Denver and on our way to NYC, we ended up having to do a hold on the plane (which means make circles till we have the clearance to land). So we were holding for about 30 mins and when we landed the airport was crazy busy. Even our driver (we had a car service) said he hadn't seen the airport as busy as it was that night. Good thing we only did carry on's and didn't check any bags.
So after we landed in NYC, the only thing I wanted to do that night was go get a famous NYC piece of pizza. So we did that, and not only did we do that, I found out that the place where we got pizza at was right next to the Empire State Building!!! So that was really cool.

The next day we spent the whole day at REV'IT, and in case you didn't see it on Facebook their office is in a great place. You can see the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Statan Island, Manhattan, and Brooklyn. It was amazing view. So we spent the day learning about new motorcycle gear. Then later that night they took us to dinner and a great little bakery. You know how I love my baked items. :) I was going to go to Times Square but I got too tired and just wanted to go to bed. But they did make we take the Subway, and that was pretty cool. ha ha
The next day was the flight home. They delayed our flight out, which means when we landed in Arionza, we were running to make our flight to Salt Lake. It was crazy, we got there just in the nick of time.

Then I was home just enough to go to work on Friday and Saturday. But on Saturday I left work an hour early to go get on a plane to San Fran.

My flight to San Fran. lucky enough had no problems other than it landed early but that was no problem really. It just means I had to wait a little bit longer for Mikey to come and pick me up.
Once Evan and him picked me, we went to our hotel which was the Ritz Carlton (fancy dancy). Then we meet up with some more people and went out to a great Thai resturant. Then after that, Evan, Mike, and I went back to the hotel to get ready for the Halloween party that we planned to go to. Mike and I dressed up as Zombies cause it was easy and we didn't have to worry about much to the costume. Evan dressed up as a doctor, cause that is what he is...so he didn't really have to dress up much either. It was nice for all of us.

Then we headed to the club, and danced our butts off till I believe 5 in the morning!! It was so much fun. I can not even tell you the words as to how much fun it was, but it for sure had to be the best time I have ever had in my life (up to date). Mikey really knows how to pick a great place to go dance :) Then after we left the club, we went back to the hotel room and chilled out till about 6:30 in the morning. Then we went to bed and didn't wake up till about 3:00 in the afternoon. Then Evan, Brooklyn, Michael, and I went to breakfast. I had the best pancakes I have ever had. mmmmm. Then Brooklyn, Michael, and I all went swimming. Then the 3 of us went out to dinner for some authentic Itailian. It was so good as well. Afterwards, we just went to bed, cause we had an early morning flight. So at 3:30 am Michael and I woke up and went to the airport only to find out that our flight was canceled after we boarded the plane. So Mikey being the VIP of Delta that he is, called and got us directly on the next flight out of San Fran. So other than our flight out the weekend was completely wonderfully amazing!!!

Ok so I better get back to work...but that the update on me. :) Now back to work.
